Hello, everyone! / Bonjour à tous !

I wish for miracles.  Life must be so very hard when one spouse (a senior) has been diagnosed with Dementia and is now living in a board and care home while the other spouse (also a senior) has to return to work in order to pay for the board and care home.

For the spouse to implement change to benefit the spouse who has Dementia must be so very hard when the spouse has no authority to train the caregivers.


I am sitting on the front steps of M & R’s house in California… I use my phone to get onto the Internet… I’m searching keywords (TAGs)

“Foods that reverse dementia”


I must not be asking the right question…   I type ”What foods restore brain cells?”  This link appears –

I look at Dr. Steven Gundry’s website https://gundrymd.com/books

the book -  The Gut-Brain Paradox

In his previous books, Dr. Gundry taught readers how to improve health and well-being by supporting our gut health. In The Gut-Brain Paradox, Dr. Gundry focuses on brain health and reveals how our gut microbiome is driving our thoughts, feelings, behaviors—not to mention, our mental, emotional, and neuronal health. And he shows us how to heal our microbiomes to take back control of our minds.

What to Eat, What Not to Eat, to reverse illness, reverse disease, to improve health. Foods that reverse Dementia?

What combination of nutrients could reverse Dementia?

I know… excellent health is a combination of nutrition, environment, genetics, individual brain and body, the world’s well-being.

After years of eating processed foods (even though the labels list quality ingredients… the emulsifiers and preservatives aren’t food; they do NOT feed healthy gut bacteria)… I have been fighting a silent illness.

I didn’t know about polyphenols, lectins, prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, gut lining, gut bacteria, compounds in foods…

Last month, eating delicious eggplant plunged me into depression which made me crave foods that aren’t real foods at all. Then, my Angel Mom and others intervened…

I love drinking green tea which is good for gut bacteria. Because I live out of my suitcase…I don’t have space for kettle and teapot for loose leaf teas. I rely on tea bags.

Thanks to Nan who enlightened me about tea companies who do not use microplastic material to make their tea bags.

Chemicals and health expert Konstantina Antoniadou says:

“Research links ‘microplastics’ to endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, and neurological issues. The tiny particles can enter our bodies and accumulate over time, potentially leading to long-term health problems.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/the-gut-brain-connection

What is the gut-brain connection?

Your brain talks to your gut, and your gut talks back. If you’ve ever had a “gut feeling,” you’ve experienced this communication. It’s how the thought of an exciting event can make you feel “butterflies in your stomach,” while the thought of something dreadful might be “gut-wrenching.” And it’s how the feeling in your gut can influence your decision-making, as in “going with your gut”.

Your brain communicates with all of your body through nerves (your nervous system). But your brain and your gut are like besties. They talk about all kinds of things, from practical, physical matters to emotional ones. More information passes between your brain and your gut than any other body system. In fact, there are more nerve cells in your gut than anywhere else in your body outside of your brain.

 

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4973770/

Plants are not sitting ducks waiting for herbivores to eat them.

There is a common attitude toward plants, accordingly, plants are waiting around to be found and eaten by herbivores. This common approach toward plants is a great underestimation of the huge and variable arsenal of defensive plant strategies. Plants do everything evolution has allowed them to do in order not to be eaten. Therefore, plants are not sitting ducks and many plants outsmart and even exploit many invertebrate and vertebrate herbivores and carnivores for pollination and for seed dispersal, and even carnivores and parasitoids for defense.

Thank you, dear Sue, for gifting me the book

Immune: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive

by Philipp Dettmer, creator of the popular science YouTube channel “Kurzgesagt—In a Nutshell”

https://www.youtube.com/@kurzgesagt/videos

Page 62 of the book IMMUNE: A Journey into the Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive by Philipp Dettmer
“Inflammation is the universal response of your immune system to any sort of breach or damage or insult. No matter if you burn yourself, cut yourself, or get a bruise. No matter if bacteria or viruses infect your nose, lungs, or gut. No matter if a young tumor kills a few civilian cells by stealing their nutrients or you have an allergic reaction to a food, inflammation is the response. Damage or danger – PERCEIVED OR REAL – causes inflammation.”

 

I wish everyone total wellness, safety, and happiness always!

 

Je souhaite à chacun bien-être, sécurité et bonheur toujours !

Découvrez tout ce qu’il faut savoir sur les bienfaits des polyphénols

Hello, everyone / Bonjour, à tous

I have been ill since the beginning of this year… the kind of illness that is not obvious, not even to myself.
Through knowledge gained from all the healers I blog about and all the precious people who care about my well-being … and now, thanks to the valuable information from Dr. Steven Gundry M.D., I am on a path to understand my gut health, beautiful gut bacteria, and compounds in foods.

Je suis malade depuis le début de l’année… le genre de maladie qui passe inaperçue, même à mes propres yeux. Grâce aux connaissances que j’ai acquises auprès de tous les praticiens que je cite sur mon blog et de toutes les personnes qui se soucient de mon bien-être… et désormais, grâce aux précieuses informations fournies par le Dr Steven Gundry, médecin, je m’efforce de mieux comprendre la santé de mon intestin, les bonnes bactéries intestinales et les composés présents dans les aliments.

 

I am reading Dr. Steven Gundry’s book –

GUT CHECK: Unleash the Power of Your Microbiome to Reverse Disease and Transform Your Health 

… learning so much!  About:  polyphenols, lectins, prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, gut lining, gut bacteria, properties in foods, immune system, nervous system, harmony, wellness.

Je suis en train de lire le livre du Dr Steven Gundry :
GUT CHECK : Libérez le pouvoir de votre microbiome pour inverser le cours de la maladie et transformer votre santé

… j’apprends énormément ! Sur les thèmes suivants : polyphénols, lectines, prébiotiques, probiotiques, postbiotiques, muqueuse intestinale, bactéries intestinales, propriétés des aliments, système immunitaire, système nerveux, harmonie, bien-être.

 

I have listened to Dr. Steven Gundry’s podcast “Unclog Your Arteries Naturally With These 5 Foods Recommended By A Heart Surgeon” two times.

The findings from research studies are compelling.

I shall listen to it again.. for inspiration… for call to action … which I am answering.

 

J’ai écouté deux fois le podcast du Dr Steven Gundry intitulé  “Débouchez naturellement votre artères grâce à ces 5 aliments recommandés par un chirurgien cardiaque “. Les résultats de ces études sont convaincants.

Je vais l’écouter à nouveau… pour trouver l’inspiration… pour répondre à cet appel à l’action… auquel je réponds.

J’ai activé les sous-titres pour pouvoir voir l’orthographe des ingrédients et les propriétés des aliments dont nous parle le Dr Gundry.

The Definitive Polyphenol Guide by Dr. Steven Gundry

Dr. Steven Gundry’s website:

https://drgundry.com/about/

“My name is Dr. Steven Gundry. I’ve worked in medicine for over 40 years. I’m probably best known for my work as a cardiothoracic surgeon and heart surgeon… but today my focus is on something very different:

Teaching people how to avoid surgery by using my unique vision of human nutrition.

My mission is to improve your health, happiness, and longevity by making simple changes to your diet.

[....]

I’d like to quickly tell you the STORY of how I went from being a top cardiac surgeon to being a researcher and author focused on cutting-edge human nutrition.
[....]

Throughout my career, I combined my love of research with my intimate knowledge of heart surgery… and ended up creating some lasting innovations in the field.

I was one of the first 20 surgeons to test the implantable left ventricular assist device, a type of artificial heart. I also helped pioneer the use of robots for minimally-invasive heart surgery. I hold the record for the longest-surviving pig-to-baboon heart transplant – a procedure called xenotransplantation.”
